Wie funktioniert dieser Rechner?
One yard = 0.9144 m (exact). Also: 1 yd = 3 ft = 36 in = 1/1760 mi = 0.0009144 km. All conversions are mathematically exact — 0.9144 m is a definition, not a measurement. 100 yd = 91.44 m; 1 760 yd = 1 mile = 1 609.344 m; 220 yd = 1 furlong.
Formel
How this is calculated
The yard was standardised internationally in 1959 when the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa agreed that 1 international yard = 0.9144 metres exactly. This is a definition, not a measurement, so there is no rounding in the metric conversions: 1 yard = 91.44 cm = 914.4 mm = 0.0009144 km.
Within the imperial and US customary system, the yard is the base length: 3 feet = 1 yard, 36 inches = 1 yard, and 1 760 yards = 1 statute mile. From these, 220 yards = 1 furlong and 22 yards = 1 Gunter's chain. The fathom (used in marine navigation) is exactly 2 yards = 6 feet. All of these are exact integer or rational relationships, so the conversions carry no rounding error.
Common uses of the yard: American football fields are 100 yards long; a regulation cricket pitch is 22 yards (1 Gunter's chain) from wicket to wicket; a standard 50 m swimming pool is approximately 54.7 yards. Golf distances are quoted in yards in the United States and United Kingdom.
Häufige Fragen
100 yards × 0.9144 m = 91.44 metres exactly. This is the exact 1959 SI definition — there is no rounding. The 100-yard dash was replaced by the 100-metre sprint in international athletics when the IAAF standardised on metric distances.
Yes. Both the US customary yard and the UK imperial yard were redefined as exactly 0.9144 metres in the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement. They are identical. Before 1959 the US survey yard was very slightly different; historical US land records may use the pre-1959 US survey foot.
Divide yards by 1 760 to get miles (1 mile = 1 760 yards). A quick mental shortcut: divide by 1 800 for an approximation within ~2.3%. For example, 880 yards ÷ 1 760 = 0.5 miles (exactly half a mile). For exact conversion, always divide by 1 760.
